Linux and Life Sciences Research on IBM Technologies

Business Challenge
To accelerate the research process, life sciences research companies strive to increase overall throughput while enabling the flow of data within teams and across domains. They seek to perform analyses more efficiently, query a diverse set of data sources, and protect and manage high data volumes over long periods of time, while supporting each endeavor with effective collaboration between teams and across disciplines, such as biology and chemistry
Solution
Linux and other open source technologies on IBM technologies, such as IBM eServer and IBM TotalStorage, offer life sciences research companies high-performance, low-cost computing solutions that can accelerate and enhance data capture, computation, modeling, analysis, and collaboration. Offerings that are available from IBM and our Business Partners include:
  • More than 100 life science software applications running on Linux, including Accelrys, CCG, deCODE, Gene-IT, IDBS, LION Biosciences, Thermo Finnigan, Tripos, Turboworx, and Wavefunction
  • More than 30 open source applications, including programs for sequence search and analysis, phylogeny, and molecular docking in the discovery space
For details about how Linux on IBM technologies can help life sciences companies accelerate the research process while lowering their cost of computing, see IBM Life Sciences.
